This November at Astor Place Theatre, musical theatre veterans Joshua Henry and Julia Harriman will get to try something new: singing their own songs on stage. Their forthcoming off-Broadway musical, The Conversation, features 17 pop, soul, and R&B songs co-written by Joshua and Julia. The duo cites Ms. Lauryn Hill and Ella Fitzgerald among their shared musical interests, a connection they discovered while on tour together in Hamilton. To promote the show, The Conversation‘s team invited press and friends to hear a sampler of the new music, listen in on a panel with songwriter-actors Joshua and Julia, book writer Nick Green, and director Kenny Leon. I spoke with each of them about their creative process and what a show about long-term relationships has to offer to all my fellow “single pringles” out there.

Performances of The Conversation will begin on November 17. Stay tuned and subscribe to read (or watch) my review when it’s ready!

Many thanks to The Press Room for the invitation.
